The sound of the night rain falling on the top of the tent went straight into the tent, which also made the fat man's heart a little more annoyed, leaning on a marching bed, taking off his boots, and looking at the statistical report just sent, Rui Tang Tingna invited herself to go to the Heavenly Wolf Mansion to recuperate from her injuries, which was equivalent to completely handing over the command of the East Courtyard Department, it seemed that her words had worked, she gave up her unrealistic ambitions, and honestly packed up her mood to be the princess of the empire,

But the armies of the Eastern Court are indeed miserable this time, more than 28,000 people were killed in the battle, and the wounded were sent to the Heavenly Wolf Mansion for recuperation, and the remaining troops were not even 15,000 people, which was really disabled, and the cavalry of the East and West Courts was originally the main force of the empire's war against the grassland, and now that the war has not started, the empire has already lost a strong arm,

In terms of the situation, because of the defeat in this battle, the battle situation of the empire suddenly changed from active to passive, not only the previous advantages were wiped out, but even the attitude of the right minister who originally had a secret agreement with the empire. I'm afraid that there will be some fluctuations, and the right minister was originally playing two-faced methods, on the one hand, he used the East Court to contain the empire, and on the other hand, he used the empire to deter the East Court.

What is playing is to fish in troubled waters between the two forces and take advantage of the cheap.

If the deterrent power of the empire is no longer there, the right minister is not so easy to speak, the right minister is not with a group of old and weak women and children, but with a strength of 60,000 people in the East Court One of the eight armies of the White River pro-army, according to intelligence, this is the perennial guard corps of the royal court, when it comes to combat power, it is enough to rank in the top three of the Dongting army, and even on top of the Lei army that hit the Dongting army, after the death of the king of the eastern court, the three princes hurriedly waved their troops south, and the personal guard corps left behind in the royal court gradually became the military force of the right phase faction under the various means of the right minister, and this time, it was under the banner of stabilizing the western part of the country, from the White River, where the royal court is located, all the way to the murderous atmosphere, staying five hundred Leona wrong.

For more than ten days, there was no intention of sending someone to contact this side, it was obvious that he wanted to wait and see, the swing of the right minister of the East Court made the situation a little uncontrollable, is it to fight? or not to fight? The fat man really wanted to send someone to contact once, but since the Lei army withdrew into Oone, the road to entry was strictly blocked, and in order to avoid exposing the secret deposit, the fat man could only hold back this idea for the time being. He believed that the internal contradictions of the East Court would make the right minister make a decision, and cooperating with the empire was the only way out.

"Your Majesty, Lord Murphyo Boone asks to see you!" the guard's voice sounded outside the tent

"Let him in!" the fat man put down the report in his hand, rubbed his somewhat swollen temples, and looked up to see Murphyo Boone unveil the tent and walk in with an anxious face, still covered in rain

"What's wrong?" the fat man was a little curious. Murphy Oone is a pure Gallic soldier, and he walks and does things with a strong military atmosphere on weekdays, but today, he actually saw a trace of panic from Murphy Oboone

"The spies I sent to infiltrate Oone's side have just sent back bad news. Although it is not completely confirmed, I think it is better to report it immediately!" Murphy Boone hesitated for a moment, and took out a strip of cloth from his arms, crumpled. There was also the residue of sludge on it, and it looked like it was really urgent, so much so that Murphyo Boone ran to it as soon as he got it

"Well, what's the news?"

The fat man looked at Murphy Boone's somewhat nervous face. Stretched out his hand to take the strip of cloth, feeling that it might be really a little troublesome, Murphy Boone is a brave general with the name of Gaul, not a person who will lose an inch in a little thing, his eyes swept over, the fat man's calm face also changed, the hand holding the strip of cloth clenched suddenly, took a deep breath and asked, "Can this news be confirmed?" "It should be possible, but it will take some time, and this is what I'm worried about, I'm afraid of ......" Murphy Oone looked like he wanted to say something. Do you think that if the situation is true, then the enemy will choose to attack earlier?" The fat man stood up with a solemn face, holding the crucial strip of cloth in his hand, and walked back and forth a few steps, the news came too suddenly, even the fat man was a little confused, the grassland people gathered and scattered, the troops gathered to fight, and the scattered could not be chased, so it was difficult to figure out the truth and reality, fortunately, Murphy Oone had been in the Heavenly Wolf Mansion for more than half a year, and collected a lot of grassland people who originally belonged to the East Court.

The population flow on the grassland is very large, and the herdsmen are grazing by grass, but fortunately it is the season of winter and spring, and the tribes that gather for the winter have not dispersed, so the people who mixed in got this information, otherwise they don't know how they died.

I have to admit that the news sent back this time was a little shocking, and it made the fat man feel tricky, Lei Jun got a great supplement after withdrawing into Oun Na Co, and the strength was restored to seven or eight out of ten, which was second, mainly because of its heavy damage to the imperial army in the edge of Oone, I don't know how it touched the strongest prince in the East Court, probably thinking that Lei Jun gave the second prince a long face, and his momentum rose sharply, and he tried his best to suppress his younger brother, so this time the East Court originally only sent the right minister's Baihe pro-army to reinforce the situation, and suddenly became in addition to the Baihe pro-army, the 70,000 wolf cavalry under the command of the eldest prince also followed O'Naco, It seems that he is preparing to capture the Imperial Army again, or simply recapture the land lost last winter, and push the battle line back to the line of the Heavenly Wolf Mansion,

That is to say, in the dark night in front of it looks like a blurry five hundred Leonco swamp, the Dongting people have not the expected 100,000 troops, but close to 200,000 huge cavalry clusters, if you count the tribal forces recruited there, God knows how much it will be in the end, the fangs in the enemy's huge mouth are already clearly visible, and here, the empire's more than 100,000 troops are still dangling from the Yue Valley to the line of the Onarco swamp for hundreds of miles, in this case, the main cavalry cluster of 200,000 is spread out in a line, swarming into the wilderness, Murphy Oone no longer dares to imagine what kind of picture it is, the collapse is still good, I'm afraid that the control area of the empire will be beaten to the long wall in one go, and it's hard to say, two years of hard work, the tragic battle of 100,000 troops, all of them are in vain, "Your Majesty, there is a huge disparity between the enemy and our forces, before the enemy has figured out the details of our army, let's evacuate from the Ounco area!" The forces of the Eastern Court are too large, and the goal is obviously to regain the land occupied by the empire in the winter of last year, which is where his Murphy Oone is located, hundreds of miles of territory, if you say you will lose it, you will lose it, but what if you don't lose it? This is an endless wilderness, without any fortress passes, what can the empire use to stop the 200,000 cavalry cluster? If His Majesty Falcon insists on not withdrawing, once the situation is clarified on the other side, it will be the misery of being trapped and killed by the army

"There's no need to rush to evacuate. Order the army scouts to release fifty miles, the whole army is in a state of combat readiness, if the situation is not right, we will leave immediately!" The fat man waved his hand, fortunately, all the cavalry troops brought this time were cavalry troops, and the cavalry of Murphyob plus the remnants of the Eastern Court also had more than 30,000 people, which was enough to deal with various situations,

Seeing Murphy Obonne and wanting to say. The fat man waved his hand and said in a condensed voice, "The other party's intention should be to take advantage of our ignorance and lead our army into the Ontso Swamp to annihilate it." If our army withdraws in a hurry, it will be tantamount to telling the enemy that our army has already known about the enemy's secret increase in troops, and when the time comes. The other side will inevitably go out to hunt us down, but I and the Dongting Army are not a big problem, and most of your Murphy Army are heavily armoured. How far can we escape in the face of the swift pursuit of the grassland light cavalry? On the contrary, we did not move, pretending not to know, and put on a posture of pressing forward at any time, but in fact we secretly replaced the heavy armor, and the opposite side would stupidly open our pockets and wait for us to drill forward!"

"Yes, my subordinates know what to do!"

Murphy Oone showed a sudden face, here is hundreds of miles away from the Heavenly Wolf Mansion that can block large-scale cavalry clusters, the emperor's guards cavalry and steppe cavalry are all cavalry with good mobility, and they will be withdrawn if they want to evacuate, but there are still 8,000 heavy armor among their more than 10,000 Murphy cavalry, and they can't throw away the heavy armor in the end, so let's go all the way, those cavalry heavy armor are all piled up with money, and they are most of their belongings.

"Go and speed up the arrangement, even if it is a lie, it is estimated that it will not be long to cheat, we are running out of time!" the fat man patted Murphyo Boone on the shoulder with his hand,

"Yes", Murphy Boone turned away

The fat man put his hands behind his back and carefully checked the topographic map of Onarco for a long time, which was given by Yelu Qiyeguang in order to strengthen the persuasiveness of the day, from the map, Onarco Swamp is worthy of being the western gateway of the Dongting grassland, connecting the east-west corridor of the important land, there are no mountains in the whole swamp, only two Y-shaped staggered confluence rivers cross by, forming the main water source of the swamp area, that is, it can basically be said that in this season, the tribes and armies of the Onnatso area should be in these two river areas,

"Three days, if there is no news after three days, then the only way to really evacuate!" the fat man rubbed his frozen hands, and at this time the heavy rain outside the tent stopped, the temperature rose a little, and the tent was full of unpleasant tide moisture, and the light in the brazier flickered, so that the shadow cast on the tent was magnified several times, and it was as thick as a mountain

The turning point came the next morning, when Murphy Boone found the fat man with an arrow that was clearly of a prairie man, and the tip of the cluster was tightly tied with a foot barrel with a string

"Your Majesty, this was discovered by the night patrol soldiers last night!"

"Put it there!" the fat man nodded, stopped his pen, raised his head and asked, "How's it going?"

Murphy Boone looked like he was in battle, with a cloak behind him and armor on his body, all of which were mud marks, and it seemed that he had replaced all the heavy armor of the heavy armored cavalry with light armor according to the order, and smiled proudly, "I have finished changing clothes, wearing the armor of the Dongting Army, although the Dongting camp has been damaged, but the heavy weapons such as ordnance and armor have not suffered much loss, and the light armor and equipment of thousands of people are still available, as long as there is no heavy armor dragging, no matter how many cavalry are chasing now, I am also confident that I can run away calmly before the other party pounces."

"That's good!" the fat man picked up the arrow cluster, looked at it carefully, took off the wooden barrel at the top of the arrow, twisted his fingers slightly, poured out a leather roll from it, and opened it to see that it was a map

"This is?" Murphy Boone was stunned for a moment, in the middle of the night, send a map, which is a little weird, "It's Oone's wrong map!" The fat man's eyes blinked, the corners of his mouth smiled slightly, pressed the leather roll with a heavy object, roughly figured out what the other party wanted to do, and casually took out the map given by Yelu Qiguang and opened it again, and it was exactly the same, the only difference was that on the map sent, there were a few more marks in some locations,

The wolf's head should be the Wolf Rui Army, the lightning should be the Lei Army, the river should be the Baihe Army, the layout of the Dongting army in the Onnaco area is clear at a glance, it is really a zigzag pocket, no wonder the Dongting Right Minister has no news at all! It turns out that he has been sandwiched in the middle, and it seems that there are smart people in the Dongting."

The fat man glanced at it, his eyes flashed and looked at the sky outside the tent, and muttered to himself, because he knew the existence of the secret covenant, so his thoughts were different from Murphy Oone, the 70,000 wolf sharp cavalry under the command of the prince of Dongting followed the Baihe pro-army of the right minister, not necessarily mainly against the imperial army, but more likely to target the right-hand faction, with the Lei army in front and the wolf Rui army behind, the Baihe pro-army of the right minister can't play tricks even if they want to, but as long as there are signs of misdeeds, they will be brutally strangled by the two armies, and the right minister's embarrassment at the moment is no different from roasting on the fire, and he is a little more eager than himself, It seems that the struggle within the East Court has reached the point where it is urgent, even if this right minister wants to get rid of it, it has reached the point where he is unable to withdraw, "Right Minister?" Murphy Oone was confused when he heard it, this map was sent, and it was even more strange that His Majesty had an identical map in his hand, if these two maps were connected with the marks on the map, Murphy Boone suddenly felt beads of sweat oozing from his head, and the corners of his eyebrows were twitching, no, impossible, could it...... If this is the case, then this battle is not completely without a turnaround, among the 200,000 Dongting army, the right phase army accounts for 60,000, if this force really has any collusion with His Majesty, not to mention the role played at the critical moment, it is enough to reverse the whole situation, this battle can be ......fought!
